Profiles in Hysterical Moonbat Hypocrisy: William Shatner

Scotty, please beam up this kook:

“Star Trek” legend William Shatner issued a dire warning to King Charles on Wednesday, urging him to use his voice to warn about the consequences of climate change in his opening speech at the COP28 climate conference in Dubai.

You have to be exploring the final frontiers of moonbattery to be in a position to urge King Chucklehead further to the left on the global warming hoax.

“He’s got to say, ‘We’re all going to die.’ That’s what he should say to open up with. ‘Very quickly, we’re all going to die…'” the star told “Good Morning Britain.”

Captain Kirk must have gone over to the Klingons. He denounces his fellow humans:

Shatner, during his show appearance Wednesday, raved about the importance of life, warning that “stupid human beings” are “extinguishing” it.

Unlike we stupid people who don’t understand that life will be extinguished if we don’t help leftists achieve greater power by playing along with the global warming hoax, Shatner walks the walk by reducing his carbon emissions to the level of a caveman like us little people are supposed to do. Just kidding:

The 92-year-old actor, meanwhile, remains the oldest person ever to travel to space after embarking on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket in 2021. The event preceded Prince William’s criticism of space tourism, where he told the BBC people should “be focusing on this [planet]” instead of “heading out into space.”

Who is the most sanctimonious elitist climate kook of all? Maybe we’ll find out in Dubai, to which the globalist ruling class will travel by private jet from all over the world. Kamala “Heartbeat Away” Harris will be on hand at our expense.

Record Crops Despite Supposed Climate Crisis

Now I get why they call it “climate chaos.” Even with record droughts caused by global warming caused in turn by our failure to submit to absolute government, we find ourselves choking on record crops:

Alarmingly, these record crops will go to feed humans, who will then emit CO2, which will cause crops to grow even more abundantly.

Merging Climate Kookery With Support for Hamas

Hats off to Greta Thunberg for helping to make it obvious that with leftists, the issue is never the issue; the issue is always evil.

When climate warriors like Greta demand we stop using fossil fuels in the name of their ideology, only the dimmest of them fail to understand that millions would starve in the resulting economic collapse. That’s fine with them. Some of these people are so wicked, they effectively advocate torturing, maiming, and murdering children as their parents watch because “colonialism”:

Even some fellow climate kooks have had enough:

Thunberg has come under fire for her pro-Palestine stance by Jewish groups, as the German branch of climate movement Fridays for Future also distanced itself from her.

Ms Thunberg, wearing a Palestinian black and white scarf, had urged ‘ceasefire now’ at a climate protest in Amsterdam on Sunday before a man grabbed her microphone and said: ‘I’ve come for a climate demonstration, not a political view.’

As if climate demonstrations were less than 100% political.

The 20-year-old eco-protester had accused ‘the people in power of not listening’ to the ‘voices of those who are being oppressed’ in the Gaza Strip during her speech in front of tens of thousands of climate demonstrators.

“No climate justice on occupied land,” chanted Greta.

Here’s what liberal demigoddess Greta stands with against civilization:

You likely recall one of the first images on October 7 that went viral, an Israeli woman bleeding in the rear end led into a vehicle by terrorist savages.

Video of the scene was posted here back on October 9. This went unnoticed:

The woman’s achilles tendon was cleanly lacerated so she couldn’t run.

Her name is Naama Levi. Pray for her, and that she is returned alive, and the people who did that to her receive even worse judgment.

Also pray that we get the better of the leftists who have rendered us vulnerable to opportunistic infections like Islam, so that more women don’t share her fate as malevolent freaks like Greta Thunberg shriek pro-Hamas slogans.

Climate Attacks With Deadly Bacteria From the Sea

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about with climate change unleashing 50,000-year-old zombie viruses from beneath the Siberian permafrost, it is also attacking us from the sea:

A dangerous, sometimes deadly bacteria has been observed resulting in infections farther north than what was once typical — a result of warmer northern waters due to climate change.

This is from the Weather Channel, which like the rest of the liberal establishment subordinates its actual purpose to supporting the Narrative.

Global warming propagandists are finally learning to set their prognostications of doom far enough out in the future so they will be forgotten long before they fail to come to pass:

Vibrio infections … may double by 2060 as a result of climate change, experts say.

Which experts? Never mind, just experts. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Climate Cultists Try to Spook Us With Zombie Viruses

The wheels are coming loose on the global warming hoax, as scientists find the courage to risk cancelation by exposing it. But our liberal overlords can still exploit their stranglehold on the media to stampede the herd. Just in time for Halloween, they shout that zombie viruses are “yet another risk that climate change poses to public health.”

With the planet already 1.2C warmer than pre-industrial times, scientists are predicting the Arctic could be ice-free in summers by 2030s.

Remember when their prophet Al Gore suggested it would be ice-free by 2016? Never mind that now; this time, we really are doomed if we don’t believe really hard:

Concerns that the hotter climate will release trapped greenhouse gases like methane into the atmosphere as the region’s permafrost melts have been well-documented, but dormant pathogens are a lesser explored danger.

Ancient viruses trapped in the Siberian permafrost for 50,000 years like otherworldly horrors in an H.P. Lovecraft story may still be infectious.

“With climate change, we are used to thinking of dangers coming from the south,” [virologist Jean-Michel] Claverie said in an interview at his laboratory in the Luminy campus of Aix-Marseille University, France, referring to the spread of vector borne diseases from warmer tropical regions. “Now, we realize there might be some danger coming from the north as the permafrost thaws and frees microbes, bacteria and viruses.”

No doubt future sneak attacks by the climate will come from east and west as well.

As inducement to panic, we are told that warm weather in Siberia allowed anthrax spores to kill someone in 2016.

Given the global implications, we should be unsurprised to hear from the United Nations, via the World Health Organization:

“WHO works with 300+ scientists to look at the evidence on all viral families and bacteria that can cause epidemics and pandemics, including those that may be released with the thawing of permafrost,” said WHO spokesperson Dr Margaret Harris.

Global warming, pandemics, Russia — the liberal hysteria bases are loaded.

Meanwhile, the real world presents us with real problems, primary among which is a malevolent ruling class that attempts to hype us into a constant state of fear so that we won’t put up resistance as it deprives us of our freedom and standard of living.

Climate Collision Is Coming as Hoax Stalls

You can fool some of the people all of the time, but the liberal ruling class is fooling ever fewer with the global warming hoax. It is public knowledge that the climate has always fluctuated and always will, that the government cannot control this, and that there is no climate crisis. The era of unchallenged climate doctrine is over:

Leading voices in the climate community are in an uproar as their warming hypothesis comes under fresh assault by new scientific papers.

Scientists have boldly pointed out that the mild warming we have experienced is caused by solar activity, and temperature readings have been grotesquely distorted by the urban heat island effect.

Meanwhile, human CO2 emissions constitute less than 1% of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and have little measurable effect on the climate. Leftist global warming dogma is a lie, the purpose of which is to impose globalist authoritarianism.

The authors of the papers are being attacked and say that “activist scientists” threatened by the new findings are “aggressively conducting an orchestrated disinformation campaign to discredit the papers and the scientific reputation of the authors.”

Underhanded tactics to suppress legitimate research have been employed by pseudoscientific establishmentarians like Michael Mann of hockey stick and Climategate infamy, bureauweenie Gavin Schmidt of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and Dan Vergano of the leftist propaganda platform (see here, here, here, here, here, etc.) Scientific American.

The papers are also fueling even more public skepticism about the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which the authors say ignores the facts as well as climate science more generally.

The United Nations answers threats to its agenda by declaring war on what Undersecretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming calls climate “disinformation.” This approach was successful at suppressing dissent during Covid hysteria — for a while.

Progressives face a losing battle, for all their superciliousness. Despite decades of relentless propaganda from the media, less than half of Americans are gullible enough to believe that climate change is caused by people. The percentage will fall lower still as the world continues to not end and real science evades suppression.

Meanwhile, our rulers spend us into oblivion and conspire to radically reduce our freedom and our standard of living in the name of the climate. A collision is coming.

French Support for Climate Change Travel Restriction

It is hard to say what is more alarming: French contempt for fundamental liberties like freedom of movement or the national collapse in IQ suggested by this:

A new poll shows that a shocking number of French citizens support banning people from flying more than four times in their lives due to climate change.

A poll from research firm Consumer Science and Analytics Institute (CSA) found that 41% of citizens would support such a limit. That number rose to 59% support among 18-24-year-olds.

Anyone who believes that the weather has recently become a problem and we can fix it by forbidding people from traveling is encouraged to get in touch regarding a bridge I am selling that crosses the East River.

It is unclear whether anyone in France is dumb enough to believe that the travel restrictions would apply to the ruling class as it jets around the globe to climate conferences.

Let’s not single out France. The epidemic of stupidity that is both cause and effect of moonbattery is worldwide:

Climate activists across the globe have pushed for wide-ranging restrictions aimed at reducing carbon emissions, from limiting car travel to banning plastic straws.

Banning plastic straws. Because the weather. Reasoning with people who swallow leftist climate ideology is not an option.

Nurses Repurposed

Once a sector of society has been subverted by leftists, all who work in it have a new primary task: to affirm leftism. This includes even the healthcare field:

The American Nurses Association (ANA) said that nurses, as trusted messengers in healthcare, have a responsibility to mitigate and help others adapt to the impacts of climate change in a position statement released on Thursday.

Nurses have enough on their plate dealing with problems that actually exist — yet the ANA quacks flaky duckspeak to justify turning them into Democrat propagandists:

“From the function of cells to the function of Earth’s natural systems, nurses know that humans are deeply interconnected and part of the entire ecosystem. … This holistic orientation positions nurses to grasp the impact of social, structural, and environmental determinants of health.”

The holistic orientation reveals that insufficient taxation and regulation constitute a healthcare crisis, because only a government more intrusive and all-powerful than heretofore imagined can prevent the climate from continuing to fluctuate the way it always has.

“As advocates for the health and safety of individuals and communities, nurses have vital roles to play in addressing this global issue and its consequences on human health and all life on Earth,” the organization added.

Here’s how nurses are expected to take charge of the supposedly problematic weather:

At the professional level, nurses can help communities to both mitigate future climate health harms and adapt to current conditions by educating patients, supporting decarbonization efforts, and supporting research and innovation efforts.

In case there is anyone out there who hasn’t caught on that the imaginary climate crisis has more to do with neo-Marxism than the weather,

In the policy statement, the ANA also stressed the importance of nurses advocating for policies that “advance just and equitable climate responses in public health and healthcare, and direct adequate resources to communities that are overburdened by climate-related conditions,” including individuals who are made more vulnerable due to their race, gender, income status, or disability.

Instead of attending to the sick, nurses are to focus on protecting those of preferred race and gender from the climate. As the inmates continue to consolidate control of the asylum, the Clown World they create will not be characterized by health.

Phoenix Mayor Is Coming After Meat

Fourteen major US cities have committed to imposing moonbattery in the name of the World Economic Forum’s globalist agenda. Among them is Phoenix, whose mayor is the ditzy moonbat Kate Gallego:

Gallego now serves as “Vice Chair of the C40 Steering Committee,” which provides rigorous oversight to ensure C40’s mission is driven by and responsive to the needs of C40 cities and their climate goals.

The C40 is a global network of cities run by leftists working together to inflict the progressive conception of utopia in the name of the global warming hoax. Cities like Phoenix have shouldered responsibility for controlling the global climate. This will be accomplished in part through the war on meat.

No worries; Mayor Kate says she doesn’t want to ban meat just yet. You can believe her, because she uses a knife to eat a bowl of milk:

Or maybe you can’t. From AZ Free News:

According to the C40 Cities website, “C40 is a global network of mayors of the world’s leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis.” C40 has many documents outlining the organization’s desire to reduce and abolish the consumption of meat. …

[O]n March 4, 2020, Gallego and the Council passed the 2025 Phoenix Food Action Plan. In Strategy 2, under Goal 1, the fifth “Progress on Action” creates a new policy for the Office of Environmental Programs (OEP) at the City of Phoenix to enter a contract with Arizona State University to “establish an AgriFood Tech Incubator in 2023 to accelerate ventures in sustainable food systems…”

That likely entails eating insects and repulsive lab-grown pseudofood. It certainly does not involve eating meat.

The City of Phoenix has multiple policies for sustainable food systems in the 2020 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory report conducted by [Arizona State University]. …

While Gallego is able to say she is not literally banning meat, she is implementing policies that make meat more expensive and will lead to major reductions of meat consumption in the future.

To think I moved to Phoenix to get away from the moonbats in New York. Turns out, you can’t run away from leftists. You can only stand your ground and fight.

Weeds Return to Choke Germany

As Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr observed, the more things change, the more they stay the same. For example, Leipzig used to be in the communist German Democratic Republic, were brainwashed students were forced to attend political demonstrations in support of leftist ideology. Now it is in the Federal Republic of Germany, where everything is different and the same:

Last Friday, participation in the “Global Climate Strike” of the radical organisation “Fridays for Future” was compulsory for tenth graders at a Leipzig grammar school. …

[P]articipation was declared compulsory as part of a “sustainability project day”. Morning and afternoon classes were cancelled for this purpose. …

Four days earlier, at the parents’ meeting of the Gerda Taro School in Leipzig, some mothers and fathers were said to have protested vehemently. “It’s just like in the GDR,” complained one father. At that time, the pupils were also sent to demonstrations.

Germans were not liberated once and for all when the Nazis lost or when the Berlin Wall fell, because no one is ever liberated once and for all. Weeds start returning to choke the garden the moment you stop pulling them.

What Drove the Libyan Death Toll?

Flash floods are caused by weather, which is caused by climate, which is caused by our failure to grant absolute power to our moonbat rulers. That means liberals score a big propaganda coup from the flood in Derna, Libya that has reportedly killed over 5,100.

“Bodies are everywhere, inside houses, in the streets, at sea. Wherever you go, you find dead men, women, and children,” Emad al-Falah, an aid worker from Benghazi, said over the phone from Derna. “Entire families were lost.”

If we would just let Democrats mandate dysfunctional electric cars, all of this could have been avoided.

Hold on:

Mediterranean storm Daniel caused deadly flooding Sunday in many towns of eastern Libya, but the worst-hit was Derna. Two dams in the mountains above the city collapsed, sending floodwaters roaring down the Wadi Derna river and through the city center, sweeping away entire city blocks.

This isn’t about the climate’s revenge because someone used the wrong light bulb. It is an infrastructure issue.

No wonder sane people have been warning that if we really are concerned with the effects of the climate’s inevitable continuing fluctuation, we ought to focus not on corrupt green energy boondoggles but on infrastructure — for example, dams.

[Libya] is divided by rival governments, one in the east, the other in the west, and the result has been neglect of infrastructure in many areas.

You could expect the problem to be especially acute in Derna.

Derna was once a hub for extremist groups in the years of chaos that followed the NATO-backed uprising that toppled and killed longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

Gadhafi was once an enemy of the USA. But after Ronald Reagan scared him onto the straight and narrow, he became an effective ally against Islamic terrorists. Then Barack Obama came to power. The vicious idiot who served as his Secretary of State comments on our government plunging Libya into chaos by getting Gadhafi killed, setting the stage for the Benghazi debacle:

Elections have consequences that spread far and wide. But that won’t stop the media from blaming the death toll in Libya on the imaginary climate crisis.

Lab-Grown Fruit Because Climate Change

In the name of their atavistic weather gods, our leftist rulers want us to eat synthetic meat produced in a laboratory. But at least we get to eat real fruit that grows on trees under the sun that so frightens them. Or maybe not:

In the face of growing food security concerns due to climate change, scientists in New Zealand are attempting to grow fruit tissue in labs.

Taxpayers are forced to fund the Food by Design program at Plant & Food Research.

The program aims to grow fruit tissue without the parts that are usually discarded like the core of the apple or the rind of an orange.

Pseudofood is better than real food. No waste.

The technology would probably be suitable for growing fruit tissue within cities, said Dr Sam Baldwin, a strategy leader at Plant & Food Research, in the hope that it would reduce the cost and carbon emissions created when transporting food into urban centres.

This would reduce the dependence of liberals’ urban power bases on the regular people who live outside their moonbat fever swamps.

Allegedly harmful carbon emissions help fruit trees to grow. But we won’t be needing trees anymore. Our liberal overlords want to cut them down and bury them, because they offend the climate.

Climate Scientist Spills the Beans

The media shrieks that we are doomed because global warming causes ever worsening forest fires; we will all burn up if we do not sacrifice our freedom and standard of living so that the government can prevent the climate from fluctuating. Liberals crow that they have the Science on their side.

True enough, scientific papers support the liberal narrative. This is hardly surprising, considering that they are a product of academia — that is, the liberal establishment.

Patrick T. Brown recently told liberals what they want to hear about global warming and forest fires in the prestigious journal Nature. Now he spills the beans:

The paper I just published—“Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California”—focuses exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behavior. I knew not to try to quantify key aspects other than climate change in my research because it would dilute the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival, Science, want to tell.

If he didn’t play by the rules, he wouldn’t have been published. Publish or perish.

The first thing the astute climate researcher knows is that his or her work should support the mainstream narrative—namely, that the effects of climate change are both pervasive and catastrophic and that the primary way to deal with them is not by employing practical adaptation measures like stronger, more resilient infrastructure, better zoning and building codes, more air conditioning—or in the case of wildfires, better forest management or undergrounding power lines—but through policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The green energy looting spree with the Orwellian title the Inflation Reduction Act is about as likely to prevent wildfires as it is to reduce inflation. But science isn’t about science anymore. Like every other institution that has fallen to leftists, it is about moonbattery.

Brown is willing to speak out because he has left academia and now he works for a private research center, where the pursuit of scientific understanding is not subordinated to leftist politics. No one who wants a career in academia can tell the truth about global warming.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden croaks:

“Nobody can deny the impact of climate crises—at least nobody intelligent can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore.”

In other words, if you won’t pretend there is a “climate crisis,” you are a dummy.

Biden was well known for his low intelligence long before senility reduced his mental capacity to the point he can no longer function.

Yet thanks to the politicization of science, Biden is as smart as the cleverest scientists. He already has the answers they are required to find.
